Protective Cover for Garmin Varia RTL515, Black, 1 pcs

I picked this up because I wanted something to protect my Garmin Varia when I’m not using it, and it’s worked out pretty well. The cover fits snugly and doesn’t feel loose or like it’s going to fall off. I also like the little lanyard since it gives me something to grab onto and makes it harder to misplace. It’s a pretty simple product, but honestly, that’s what I like about it. It does what I bought it for, doesn’t add much bulk, and gives me a little more peace of mind when I have the Varia in my bag. So far, I’m happy with it.

Fit exactly as described on my Varia 515.

Perfect Size. Design allows for lights to be seen on each side. No interference at all with radar. Easy to get on and off. Really perfect, and the cherry on top was the fact that it comes unbranded. I really hate the embarrassing no-name brands that get printed on some Amazon products. "Takewell" is not printed on the cover, even though it is shown to be printed in some (not all) of the photos. I'll buy a backup now in case they change their mind later :)

I purchased the Varia radar unit about two years ago. Love it, and wouldn’t ride without it. But I’ve always been concerned about the security of the Garmin mount using an O ring to attach the mount to the seat post. I Searched high and low to find something better, but haven’t been able to find anything that fits my “D” shaped seat post. Alternatively, In lieu of a better mount I’ve been searching for a way to secure the unit. Finally, I found this product! It checks all the boxes. It provides security, knowing that if the mount fails the unit will be saved by the tether. Performance does not seem to be affected. The tether attaches the unit to the saddle rails. Just be sure to let it dangle before you attach the unit to the mount. You want to make sure it doesn’t hang so low that it gets caught in the wheel should it fall off. A very small amount to pay for the piece of mind knowing that your $200 radar unit won’t be lost on a ride.

I purchased this to protect my Garmin RTL515. The plastic is harder and provides a shell like covering. It does not obstruct the lights, buttons, or charging port and was very easy to install. I like that it includes a lanyard. I run the lanyard through part of my bike seat mount and then run the Garmin through that. This creates a loop. If something happens and my Garmin falls off the mount, then it will be secured by the lanyard. While that will likely never happen, it makes me feel more confident that my Garmin RTL515 is protected two different ways.

I’ve been using Garmin’s Varia radar taillight for about 18 months. It works so well, that I really don’t want to ride without it! This case & lanyard just adds more peace of mind that the Varia won’t be lost on a bit of rough road or trail in the middle of nowhere. Installation is (literally) a snap, the case is barely noticeable, and the lanyard loops easily through my saddle rails. Giving it 4 stars only because the button to turn the light on/off is a little harder to press now than it is w/o the case. But overall, this is a minor issue exacerbated by the fact that I wear full-finger gloves and have a small saddle bag mounted directly above the light - so getting to the button isn’t as easy as it might be for others.

Works well with my Varia; no operational issues with the light or radar. I preferred the idea of the snap-on cover, rather than an elastic band to attach the tether to the unit. Tied a few extra knots in the lead to shorten it; I loop it around my seat rail before twisting the unit into its mount. Be sure to test the dangle length and avoid moving parts if the unit should spring out of its mount while riding.

This case looks sleek and professional when installed. It works perfectly for its intended purpose, which is to provide a tether so that if the mount your Varia radar is connected to fails, it stays hanging on your bike and does not fall to the ground and break. The white color greatly increases daytime visibility, too. It's amazing how much more easily noticeable the device is attached to your bike with the white case on than the original black. I do wish that the case was reflective so that it could double as a reflector at night to accompany your tail light, since some states require a rear reflector in addition to a light. The fit is secure and a perfect match for the Varia, with openings in all the right places for the light to be visible from both the rear and the side, and for the radar to work properly. If the case interferes with the radar range, it is very minimal to the point of not being noticeable. I ride with a helmet mirror and when the radar alerts me and I look in my mirror the approaching vehicles are no larger than before I installed the case, meaning they are about the same distance behind me when the radar first detects them as they were before I installed the case. This product looks great and does its job. Highly recommended.

Muito bom produto..quem tiver o radar garmin. Melhor colocar esta capa de proteção..

The case offers excellent protection with its durable, hard-shell design and snug fit. It keeps your radar safe from scratches.

Parfait s'adapte très bien à mon Varia 715

Fits well and doesn't stop the Varia from doing what it needs to do. I'm using an aftermarket Varia mount and fortunately this hasn't had to save my radar yet but I do ride without worry knowing this is there in case the mount fails. I've lost a couple lights so any time there's an option to have a safety tether on these mounted devices I'll take it.

Queda muy bien agarra exactamente la luz de Garmin muy segura, el cordón que trae lo hace más seguro, buen producto
